QIAT for Leadership: Improving Your AT System

Date/Location:

April 27, 2016, Online

Description:

Change is constant and with change comes the need to reassess the delivery of your AT services whether your AT services are well established or developing. Changes in today’s educational environment including new technologies and new delivery systems for content, increased emphasis on education with non-disabled peers, and a focus on state standards require that educators reexamine their AT services and the ways those services are provided. The QIAT indicators will be used to assist agencies as implications for K-12 AT services are addressed and new service designs are created while maintaining high quality and effective AT services. We will explore innovative ideas developed by teams as they reexamined and redesigned their AT services to meet the changing demands of AT in education. Participants will receive a special webinar discount to purchase the new book, Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology: A Comprehensive Guide to AT Services.
